ICANN Names New CEO, Will Pay Him $800,000 To Run the Internet
darthcamaro writes "ICANN has officially hired a new CEO to replace the Rob Beckstom. ICANN industry unknown Fadi Chehade is taking the top job — but there is a catch. He can't start for another 90 days, even though ICANN has been looking for a new CEO for months. Even better is Chehade's salary. ICANN will pay him $800,000 a year. Is the CEO of ICANN one of the highest paying jobs in the Internet governance landscape?"
I can't imagine I'm the only one.
Check out my sci-fi/humor trilogy at PatriotsBooks.
If it's not the highest paid it probably should be. If someone can run ICANN they can run a lot of other stuff too. Competition for qualified talent is difficult at the CEO level.

Q: Why do you pay your CEO so much?
A: Because ICANN.

I just changed my computer to OpenNIC's DNS servers and now I see this
Nothing I like more than having a hung stud squatting over my chest. My cock grows stiff was I watch his golden, perfect turd begin curling out of his puckered anus. My lips purse, desperately wanting to kiss the devil's onion ring and feel the shit force itself down my throat. That little pig's tail of shit then straightens out, breaks off and slaps against my chest. My sinuses are filled with his scent. I can feel myself begin to leak as he slams down his buttocks upon me. Vigorously thrusting against my body, the shit smears over my chest hair, into my mustache and navel. He kicks me in the jaw before jizzing all over on my chest.
That's how I learned how to install Linux.
Thank you, Richard Stallman.

Dude, the guy doesn't fucking 'run the internet.' Nobody runs the internet. It's like a flame, it's a manifestation.

I wanna be the president of the Internets when I grow up. I'd do it for free.
Average pay for a S&P 500 CEO was 10.7 million in 2007.
This guy has all those tubes to worry about.

What does it do? It doesn't administer number resources - IANA, ARIN, RIPE, and *NICs do that. ICANN doesn't administer root servers (various companies do that).
WTF is he doing?
half is the bribe
What does ICANN actually do, anyway?
I mean, besides supporting various tourist economies with their biweekly meetings in exotic locations...?
We live, as we dream -- alone....
ICANN doesn't do shit these days (it can be argued they hardly ever did). All the current ICANN does is find more crappy ideas to make money off of. By chance did they hire the pointy-haired boss from Dilbert?

pretend to run or do work they're actually not doing...
Running the Internet is easy. All the work is done on remote routers during the early morning hours on weekends by a race of Nibelung living their moms' basements. Or so the ancient Saga claims.
Inventing the Internet must have been a bitch and a half. We all probably owe someone gazillions in Intellectual Poopery fees for doing that.

I'm not sure, but I think you misspelled "ruin" in the headline.
Some people here seems to agree that 800 kUSD is a reasonable income. The problem is that excessivve income are hamrful to real economy. The sums required to pay such a salary are taken from real economy and are too big to return to it as good consumption or real economy investements. A lot of this money will end up in financial economy, feeding bubbles and preparing the next burst.
Moreover, who can claim his work cannot be done by someone else for less than 800 kUSD? Such an income is not necessary to get a tallented leader
so the new guy can't put the brakes on dot.fiasco
bummer.
Hey Vint (Just in case your reading)
I don't know his renumeration, but between pension, shares and the rest, he's gotta be coming close to this number.
There was a number of .com packages going around, and in all honesty to the larger companies 800k isn't a lot of money (Level Crossing, I'm looking at you). You negotiate the right deals at the right level and look after the company you work for and all of a sudden you've paid for your pay cheque a couple of times over.
I've seen people in purchasing (I don't know if they had dirt or what...) saving the company 25k/week the first week they walked in.
It's all plausible if you have the right skill set. I understand that ICANN is close to home and all that, but it's not unrealistic to have to pay it if you want the skill set.

Excessive CEO salaries are primarily harmful to the companies that pay them; the "real economy" reacts by buying cheaper products (say, from China).
These salaries only become harmful if they are coupled with government-granted monopolies that destroy market mechanisms, as they do for example for ICANN (goverment license to fiddle with the Internet), and Apple/Microsoft (patents).

About six months ago, I was overexerting myself trying to get rid of a terrible virus on a client's PC (I own a PC repair shop and have been fixing computers for over 10 years). Given my level of expertise, I thought I'd be able to get rid of it fairly quickly and without hassle, but as was made evident by my colossal failure, I was horribly, horribly wrong.
I couldn't remove the virus no matter what method I used. I tried all the latest anti-virus software and all the usual tricks, but it was all in vain. Failure after failure, my life was slowly being sucked away as I spent more and more of my time trying to get rid of this otherworldly virus.
Frustrated and stressed by my own failure, I began distancing myself from my wife and children. After a few days, I began verbally abusing them, and it eventually escalated into physical abuse. I was slowly losing what remaining sanity I had left. If this had continued for much longer, it is highly probable that I would have committed suicide. A mere shell of what I once was, I barricaded myself in my bedroom and cried myself to sleep for days on end.
That's when it happened: I found MyCleanPC! I installed MyCleanPC right on the client's PC, ran a scan, and it immediately got rid of all the viruses without a single problem. MyCleanPC accomplished in record time what I was unable to accomplish after a full week. Wow! Such a thing!
MyCleanPC is outstanding! My client's computer is running faster than ever! I highly recommend you install MyCleanPC right this minuteness, run a scan, and then boost your PC speed in record time! MyCleanPC came through with flying colours where no one else could!
My client's response? "MyCleanPC totally cleaned up my system, and increased my speed!" All the PC repair professionals are using MyCleanPC to solve all of their problems. This should be reason enough for you to switch to MyCleanPC! It'll speed up your computer, rid it of all viruses, and you'll be able to work productively again! Wow!
Even if you're not having any obvious computer problems, you could still be in danger. That's why I very highly recommend that you still use MyCleanPC. After all, it will boost your PC & internet speed to levels you never would think are possible!

A few weeks ago, I foolishly ran a strange executable file that one of my acquaintances sent me by email. As someone who doesn't know much about computers, at the time, I thought nothing of it. "Why would my acquaintance want to hurt me?" Following this line of thought, I ran the file without question.
How naive I was. Despite having what was supposedly the best anti-virus software out right then, a virus took over my computer and held it hostage. It was pretending to be a warning from Windows telling me to buy some strange anti-virus software I'd never heard of from a company I'd never heard of to remove the virus.
This immediately set alarm bells off in my head. "How could this happen? My anti-virus is supposed to be second to none!" Faced with this harsh reality, I decided to take it to a PC repair shop for repair. They gladly accepted the job, told me it'd be fixed in a few days, and sent me off with a smile.
A few days later, they called me and told me to come pick up my computer. At the time, I noticed that they sounded like whimpering animals, but I concluded that it must just be stress from work. When I arrived, they, with tears in their eyes, told me that the virus was so awful and merciless that they were unable to remove it. "Ah," I thought. "That must be why they sounded so frustrated and pathet

You don't pay the heads of powerful regulatory agencies big bucks because their job is difficult. You pay them well to ensure that they are difficult to bribe.
It's true that some of the corporations who'd stand to gain from bribing this guy can drop $800K like it's pocket change, but the larger the bribe, the harder it is to hide.
ICANN Names New CEO, Will Pay Him $800,000 To Ruin the Internet?
640K should be enough for anybody
Pay for performance is only a world wide metric if you consider the song and dance performances corporate officers give to justify their obscene salaries.
Seriously their only real job skill is selling their own self worth to their bosses, or board of directors.
If someone is passing you on the right, you are an asshole for driving in the wrong lane.
they merely decide about "assigned numbers and names", and for the most part, they mess up that part as well.
